SIX is Sexy! (Unboxed)

[AMD-C]

flank3r, i'm sure 4.2 on your mobo is pretty easy. temps are not so much of a problem, thubans are really cool!

FYI, for reference.

My X4 at 4.1Ghz gives the following:

POV-RAY 3.7 - 3997.13 PPS (1019.41 PPS CPU time)

The fact that our first pass results of x264 makes me wonder if it's being limited to 4 threads? Your X6 running 4 threads at 3x4372 + 1x 3710 would only have 2% more total clock than 4x4100, but it looks like your second pass it much faster, and at 35fps is exactly what one would expect from the 6x3710.

Strange.
